SUBSTITUTED THIAZOLE DERIVATIVES BEARING 3-PYRIDYL GROUPS, PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE SAME AND USE THEREOF
TeChniC81 Field s The present invention relates to a novel thiazole derivative having an inhibitory activity on steroid Cl~,zo-lyase, a salt thereof and to a pharmaceutical composition containing the same.
BBCkground Art io Androgen and estrogen, which are sex hormones, show a great diversity of physiological activities inclusive of differentiation and proliferation of cells. On the other hand, it has been clarified that androgen and estrogen act as an exacerbation factor in certain diseases. It is known that is steroid Cl,,za-lyase is responsible for the final stage of the biosynthesis of androgen in the body. That is, steroid Cl~,zo-lyase produces dehydroepiandrosterone and androstenedione using, as a substrate, 17-hydroxypregnenolone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone, which are generated by cholesterol.
2o Therefore, a pharmaceutical agent inhibiting steroid Cl~,zo-lyase suppresses production of androgen, as well as production of estrogen synthesized using androgen as a substrate. Such pharmaceutical agent is useful as an agent for the prevention and therapy of diseases wherein androgen and estrogen are a5 exacerbation factors. Examples of the diseases, in which androgen or estrogen is an exacerbation factor, include prostate cancer, prostatic hypertrophy, masculinism, hypertrichosis, male-type baldness, male infant-type prematurity, breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, so mastopathy, hysteromyoma, endometriosis, adenomyosis of uterus, polycystic ovary syndrome and the like.
Steroid-type compounds and non-steroid type compounds are already known as steroid Cl~,zo-lyase inhibitors. Steroid-type compounds are disclosed in, for example, W092/15404, W093/20097, EP-A-288053, EP-A-413270 and the like. As non-steroid type compounds, for example, JP-A-64-85975 discloses (1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl-substituted benzimidazole derivatives, s W094/27989 and W096/14090 disclose carbazole derivatives, W095/09157 discloses azole derivatives, US 5,491,161 discloses 1H-benzimidazole derivatives and W099/18075 discloses dihydronaphthalene derivatives.
Heretofore, there has not been obtained a steroid Cl~,zo-zo lyase inhibitor applicable to clinical situations, and early development of a steroid Cl~,TO-lyase inhibitor highly useful as a pharmaceutical is desired.
Disclosure of the Invention The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in is an attempt to find a superior steroid Cl~,2o-lyase inhibitor and found that a compound of the formula (I) unexpectedly has a superior pharmaceutical use, particularly a superior steroid ~m,zo-lyase-inhibitory activity, and shows less toxicity and superior properties as a pharmaceutical product, based on its 2o unique chemical structure.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to the following:
[1] A steroid Cl~,2o-lyase inhibitor comprising a compound represented by the formula:
